Book Lists
I always thought that the internet web pages would be a good place to
compile and share good reading, reference material as well as
interests. Unfortunately this well intentioned goal, like so many
of its kind, has never seen the light of day. Until today [I
started in January of 2005]!, and
what better way to start than with the least serious and least thought
through collection as this.
This last New Year I made
a minor resolution to myself to "read just for the fun of it". I
habitually collect and cull through a mental list of subjects, authors
and titles that I must eventually learn something about and
occasionally search for one of these related texts and read it.
By practice this is typically non-fiction, classic (as in well accepted
more often than antique), cannon, technical subject, philosophy or
social commentary type texts. You will find none of these
here - most of these books are picked for entirely casual
reasons. I might has just seen one science fiction book left on
my public libraries yet to be shelved new
releases or, by my then nine year old son saw a book with both
bicycling and science fiction for a quarter, what a deal.
My Short Random walk through contemporary and near contemporary (hmm
looks suspiciously enough mostly science fiction) literature.
